With a decade as a body liberation facilitator and a lifetime of lived experience as a fat, biracial, queer, neurodivergent person, Tiana Dodson is well-versed in what it is to exist in a multiply-marginalized body. As an active co-creator of the Syllabus for Liberation, her work addresses how personal, community, and global liberation depend upon each other. Through her consulting services, group offerings, and public speaking, Tiana highlights the ways these systems of oppression are bound together and how we can push back against them.
For the voyeur in you... (new podcast episode!)
Hey hey Reader!
It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally dropping a new podcast episode!!!
So many things happen away from the public eye, it's no wonder we all tend to enjoy when we get a peek behind the curtain.
So I got together with my friend and co-facilitator, Greta Lax, to talk a bit about what a Fat Freedom Group Read even is, why it is so important to read in community, and how we chose the next Group Read book: Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey.
Check out the episode here or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
In love, liberation, and solidarity,

Hey Reader. I remember being in my kid's classroom during the delicious 2 hours of preschool parent visit time when the teacher used a cool strategy to get the childrens' attention. She said, in a totally normal and conversational tone, "If you can hear me, then clap once," and then clapped her hands. I'm pretty sure I was the only person who heard her (thanks to my anxious parent hyper vigilance), because not a one of the tiny people clapped with her. In that same tone, without raising her...
Hey Reader! Years ago, I got into the work of Gretchen Rubin. She's somebody who did lots of research around happiness and even published a book about it. One big thing I took away from her work (nothing about happiness, somehow), was that I was an Obliger.
